Example Installation Diagram
*The smart device (iOS or Android) is not included and it is used to set up/pair devices to the system. Users can arm and disarm the system as well to identify any alarming Roving Watch Mates with or without a smart device on board. Once the initial setup of the system has been completed, the smart device is not required for the system to function. The Alarm Watch Mate will sound in the pilot house if a Roving Watch Mate was not reset or fire was detected in which case ALL of the Mates and Alarm will sound and flash.
